Biography
Jane Gilbert was a qualified teacher in Wellington, New Zealand. She had a Diploma in Teaching English as a Secondary Language, but she taught science and biology in a local secondary school for 10 years. After that, she focused on educational research. She worked in the School of Education at the University of Waikato at Hamilton, New Zealand. Then, she became a Senior Lecturer in the School of Education at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand. In June 2003, she joined NZCER as a Senior Researcher and then the Chief Researcher. Her research focuses on the following areas:
* curriculum development (especially in science and technology) in secondary schools and tertiary institutions
* gender equity issues in education
* language and literacy issues in education (for example, ESOL issues and Māori education in New Zealand)
* educational philosophy and sociology.
* implications of the Knowledge Society for contemporary public education
In November 2006, she presented a speech about educational reform in New Zealand, and commented about why educational reform failed in most schools. She also mentioned about the adaptation required to current curriculum in order to fit the future/current Information Society. For example, moving towards integrated curriculum to promote thinking across subjects, as compared to traditional subjects/disciplines as practiced in most countries like UK and US.
